With the announcement of East Of Eden, I can finally cross another one off my list. However, there as some pretty big ones still on there. Mine:
Calendar Girl (Ok, not the best one to start with)
Cat People
Incredible Shrinking Man
Island Of Lost Souls
Mole People
Reds
Sliver
Tarantula
Thing Called Love
This Island Earth
What are you guys missing?

I'm at the point where I'd like some of my favorite past TV shows to get a DVD release...most notably, The Equalizer. I'm also in the "original Star Wars" camp. I'd also like to see some of these "old" catalog releases re-done in anamorphic, with actual care taken in the transfer quality and cleanup of dirt/specks. I still have to pick up a few that have been released, like Rambo 1 & 2...but otherwise, I've pretty much got what I want. These days I mostly buy new releases.

A few films I'd like to see that haven't turned up yet

Raid on Entebbe (Charles Bronson)
